The Jazz clinched a playoff berth over the weekend for the first time in five years, but the attention on Monday was still focused squarely on Rudy Gobert’s comments about his teammates’ commitment following Saturday’s loss to the Clippers in LA.
On Monday afternoon Spence and Gordon got a third opinion from Aaron Falk who is part of the team that covers the Jazz for The Salt Lake Tribune. Falk took a slightly different approach to the comments, leaning more towards the chance that they’ll be helpful for this young squad.
Falk also explained why he feels the 2016-17 version of Rudy Gobert is able to say such things and have them not blow up in his face, while versions of Gobert in the past may not have carried as much clout.
